What I do

Keeping buildings running properly

Building Operations

Day-to-day operations across residential and mixed developments — maintenance coordination, contractor follow-up, resident matters, and the technical and non-technical issues that come with running a building.

Project Takeover

Taking newly secured developments through Pre-Vacant Possession, Vacant Possession and handover, from the developer's project into a managed property.

House Rules for New Projects

Preparing House Rules for new projects on behalf of developers. The by-laws and additional by-laws a development runs on, from occupancy and renovation to fire safety, credit control and every shared facility on the site.

Setting Up the Management Office

Establishing the office a site is run from: the space itself, the records, the reporting, the procedures and the team who will use them after handover.

Tenders and Vendor Interviews

Arranging tenders and interviews for vendors on new projects, together with the developer's representatives, alongside tender documentation and client presentations.

Bills of Quantities

Preparing priced BQs for works packages, itemised down to the specification and quantity of each line so that tenders can be compared against the same scope.

JMB, MC & Developer Liaison

Working between joint management bodies, management corporations, developers and residents, with structured reporting and regular site engagement.

Operational Reporting

Management proposals, budgets, operational forms, reports, records and notices — the paperwork that lets a building be run and audited.

About me

I hold a Master in Management.

I have been working in the property management industry since 2014, beginning my career in building administration before progressing into site management, operations and technical.

For eight years, I was directly involved in managing residential, commercial and mixed development projects, including Villa Ros Townhouse and Park Avenue.

During my tenure with CBRE-WTW, I managed Greenfield Regency, Tampoi, Southkey Mosaic and Lakefront Southkey, while also providing operational support to other developments, including D' Summit Residences and The Seed, Johor Bahru.

Under SA Property Management Sdn Bhd, I was responsible for managing several developments, including Eco Cascadia, Setia Indah, and Iskandar Residences Medini, Iskandar Puteri, holding a position as Building Manager. Since 2022 till current, I have taken on a broader role with SA Property Management Sdn Bhd, working on the other end of the property management process.

Throughout my hard work, commitment, leadership and sense of belonging, I managed to climb the ladder from Building Manager to Business Development Manager. My responsibilities include assessing developments at the Tender stage, preparing management proposals, Budgets, House Rules, Operational Forms for new projects, and leading the Pre-Vacant Possession, Vacant Possession, Takeover process, ensuring that completed developments are effectively transitioned into professionally managed properties.

With more than a decade of experience in the Property Management Industry, I have gained comprehensive experience across Building Administration, Site Operations, Property Management, Technical, Tender Assessment, Client Engagement, Pre-Vacant Possession, Vacant Possession and project Takeovers and Handovers.
